Ratings on SIMKL let users score movies, TV shows, and anime based on their viewing experience. The primary goal of ratings is to create a tailored experience for each user while contributing to the platform's recommendation system.

Your ratings not only refine your personal watchlist suggestions but also help the community by providing collective insights on various titles.

SIMKL’s rating system is unique in its ability to help you log your preferences and engage with others in the community. Whether you want to rate an entire movie or show, SIMKL gives you the tools to share your opinion and influence future recommendations.

How Is SIMKL's Rating Different from Other Sites?

SIMKL’s rating system is distinct due to its simplicity, flexibility, and integration with personalized features:

  • User-Centric Design: SIMKL allows you to rate titles with a precise 10-point star-based system that captures subtle nuances in your experience.

  • Friends and Members’ Ratings: You can see how your friends rated a title alongside the broader SIMKL community.

  • Advanced Filtering: Users can filter their watchlist to easily manage rated and unrated titles.

Can I Edit My Ratings on SIMKL?

Sometimes, there might be situations where you may have accidently give a title a 10/10 rating, while during what a show, but after completing that show. You realized its not worth 10/10, and plans to edit your rate. Same goes with movies, if you are watching a 3 hour long movie.

Other Methods to Quickly Edit Your Ratings on SIMKL

Sometimes, you may want to adjust or remove ratings you've given on SIMKL for various reasons. Whether you made a mistake or want to start fresh, SIMKL provides flexible methods to delete ratings.

Below are two detailed methods to help you clean or delete your ratings effectively:

Method 1: Quick Delete from the Discover Page

This method allows you to easily remove ratings for individual titles directly from the SIMKL Discover page, depending on your chosen view layout (Poster, Table, or Card View).

Poster View:

  • Hover over the top-left corner of the title poster where the star icon appears.

  • Click on the “Rate This” button. If you've already rated the title, a pop-up will appear displaying your rating.

  • In this pop-up, click the “Remove Rating” option to delete your rating for that title.

Table View:

  • Locate the “My Rating” column in the Table View. This column shows all your ratings for each title.

  • If the “My Rating” column is not visible, check the filtering options in your saved layout to enable it.

  • To delete a rating, simply click on the star icon under the respective title and choose the “Remove Rating” option.

Card View:

  • Hover over the card of the title and click on the star icon or your existing rating.

  • Similar to the Poster View, a pop-up will display, allowing you to edit or delete the rating by selecting the “Remove Rating” option.

Method 2: Bulk Reset – Clean All Ratings

If you’re looking to reset your ratings in bulk, SIMKL provides a "Clean Ratings" feature for this purpose. However, use this method carefully as it deletes all your ratings for specific categories (TV Shows, Movies, Anime) or even for your entire account.

Steps for Bulk Cleaning Ratings:

  1. Scroll down to the “Clean Your Account” section. Here, you will find several options:

    • Delete All Watch History: Removes all activity, including ratings, lists, and progress.

    • Clean TV Show Ratings: Deletes only your TV Show ratings.

    • Clean Anime Ratings: Deletes only your Anime ratings.

    • Clean Movie Ratings: Deletes only your Movie ratings.

  2. Select the option that fits your needs and confirm the action.
